EM
Lynley’s book, Thief of Hearts: Tempted
in Thailand, has found a new home, a new title, and over 4000 extra words,
something you may or may not notice depending on how long ago you read the
original. Now titled Rarer than Rubies, the book is the
first story in the author’s new Precious
Gems series. Regardless of the title,
this was still a fun story to read.
Trent and Reed are such different characters that you would think that, as
a couple, they would not work.

Trent
is an author who is in a rut. His last
relationship did not end well and the results are showing up in his work. Trent
thought he would be going on a glamorous vacation, thanks to his friends, but
they seemed to have other ideas. Reed is
a federal agent working undercover in Thailand. He’s beginning to wonder if he
should get out while the getting is good. When Trent meets Reed, he thinks things might
be picking up, yet from the time the men meet nothing goes right for either of
them. The author uses this time to throw
all kinds of monkey wrenches into the men’s lives. While Reed’s results in some rough
consequences, Trent’s lead to some laughs.
I liked seeing these two play off each other and Trent’s occasional
prissiness made me chuckle at times.
There is a connection between the two men and once they come together
they really heat up the pages.

The
adventure the men seem to find themselves in, courtesy of Reed’s undercover
work, will keep the reader’s attention till the last page. There are many twists and turns, and the
author did an excellent job wrapping everything up while giving the men their
happily ever after.

Rarer than Rubies was a great read and I can’t wait
to see what the author has in store for these two next.
